Early morning coffee in the garden - just me, a distant murmur of traffic, and a blackbird nearby who thinks he's Pavarotti... At times, #Dublin can be heaven.

For no other reason than its absolute beauty, here's the #peony in my #Dublin8 pocket-garden. I don't remember it ever blooming so abundantly as this year. #BloomAtHome

"She was going back to the UK after two weeks of Italian bliss ... she felt sad and betrayed by Brexit – which she now deeply regrets having voted for." You'd need a heart of stone not to laugh out loud. #BrexitReality

Reggie's distress, along with an outbreak of gastro-enteritis in the maternity home, and now Sr Monica Joan putting herself in the danger- zone...? I fear for Nonnatus House tonight. #CallTheMidwife

@Number10cat If I had to guess, I'd say that of all the U.S. Presidents her late Majesty met over her long reign, Reagan and Obama were her favourites. Definitely not Trump.

I'm thinking of the added stress on the 10 women due to fly tomorrow for a UK abortion. The things we do to women. #repealthe8th #Ryanair

When I committed to doing #100DaysOfWalking , I did so thinking it would help my physical fitness, and to maintain progress with weight loss. And so it's proved to be. But I didn't reckon on the mental health benefit, which has been a revelation. Day 32, done. @NTBreakfast

For a Communications Advisor (to #LizTruss ), he spoke for several minutes and communicated absolutely nothing - beyond waving his hands a lot. Victoria Derbyshire forensic in exposing the emptiness underlying #PopCons thinking vs 14 years of Tory Government. #Newsnight

Reasons to be thankful, Day 100: Such support came from being part of a group of walkers (nice people!), which helped me keep going. Thank you, everyone, it's been a fantastic experience. #100DaysOfWalking @NTBreakfast

@RoyallyBelle_ I've long thought that there's not only mutual respect, but a true warmth and friendship between Catherine and Sophie. Lovely picture!

@MADRADogRescue I don't understand what kind of person does that. I do know there's a special corner of Hell reserved for them. I'm so glad the dog has been rescued and is safe with you.

@philipnolan1 There are many of us who dread Christmas and find it something of an emotional endurance test, Philip. A lower-key Christmas this year might not be such a bad thing, compared to the usual spending/eating/drinking frenzy and the forced jollity...?

Switzers. The old Brown Thomas with the marble staircases up and down, and the deep grey carpet you'd sink into. Combridges. Such memories in this picture. #GraftonStreet #DublinInTheRareOulTimes

@RNLI I just went onto your website and made a donation - the work @RNLI volunteers do is simply magnificent; you are saving lives at sea, without judgement, and that makes you the best of us. Thank you (the words seem so inadequate).

When @Nigella_Lawson made this her #RecipeOfTheDay recently, I wanted to try it (who doesn't love a Chocolate Cake with Coffee Buttercream?) I had no espresso beans to decorate it, but hopefully I've done Nigella proud. #WeekendBaking

@TheRegencyCook An old recipe of my Mother's, it is delicious. For 2 large apples (peeled and cored), beat 1 egg white until frothy, stir in 2 oz gr almonds and 2 1/2 oz castor sugar, pile this into the cores. Brush apples with melted butter, roll them in breadcrumbs + sugar. Bake. Devour.
